Warren, RI Real Estate

Warren is often referred to as “the smallest town in the smallest county of the smallest state.” However, do not be fooled by it’s size—Warren has a rich history and a vibrant culture. Warren became a town in Bristol County, Rhode Island, in 1746 and was a prosperous maritime community. The history of the town can be seen in its architecture—some made by shipwrights and carpenters—with styles such as Federal, Gothic, Victorian, and Italiane. Some mills and textile buildings still exist in town today.

Despite its rich history, Warren continues to modernize with a vibrant art scene and variety of stores and restaurants—most of which are independently owned. Residents and visitors alike can see a play at 2nd Story Theater, try their hand at sculpting at Mudstone Studios, or take dancing and art lessons at the many local studios. Warren also has an array of restaurants ranging from the casual Blount Clamshack to the more formal Tav-Vino’s or Wharf Tavern.

This constantly evolving community offers a variety of real estate from colonial homes and contemporary ranch houses to condominiums and multi-family housing. Historic Warren offers homes for sale in a wide range of architectural styles and prices for any family size and budget.
